Yep, the renowned Aussie model is all for the simple things in life, and a big part of that stems from her wardrobe.

Being one of the country’s most successful models, there’s no denying the 44-year-old has a wardrobe enviable to us all, but stripping it all back, it turns out there are only a handful of things she swears by.

So of course, we made it our mission to find out exactly what they were.

To say that Megan keeps herself busy would be an understatement.

A mum to two adorable children, River, five and Rosie, two, the modelling pro has also just launched her own lifestyle brand, Mindful Life, which includes a number of baby products made from naturally-derived and safe ingredients.

Her website also includes a content hub of insights, where Megan shares anecdotes on finding balance while juggling career, motherhood… and what feels like a million other things.

With so much going on for the bubbly creative, it makes sense that when it comes to her wardrobe – yet another thing to think about in a very long list – Megan likes to keep things simple.

So, without further ado, we dive into exactly what her swear-by pieces are. And if you don’t have them already, you won’t need much convincing…

1. A trench

In trench, we trust. Well, we do where Megan is concerned…

The model insists these puppies are a go-to when it comes to being practical, but chic.

Think London, think Burberry-vibes, think rain-proof glam. Once you’ve thrown a trench over your shoulders, you’ll be ready to tackle the world (and any rogue rainfalls).

2. An LBD

Is there anything more classic than a humble little black dress? The OG fashion-maven Gabrielle Chanel swore by it, and so does Megan.

Perfect for basically any night out, a classic LBD will take you far. And you can easily mix and match it with your other wardrobe staples.

“You can throw the trench over it, anything!” Gale adds.

3. A suit

When it comes to fashion, there’s nothing quite like a suit to give you a boost in confidence and assertiveness.

That’s why having one in your wardrobe is key, Megan says.

“But it doesn’t have to be too corporate,” she adds.

“Just a really cool suit that you could wear for business but maybe if you were going somewhere for like a wedding or a function or something for across the board.”

They call it a power suit for a reason…

4. A closed point heel

Like a classic LBD, a basic pump heel will never go out of fashion.

Megan is case in point. Colour-wise, she reckons black or nude are both winners – you’ll be wearing them for seasons on end.

Just a quick look at Megan’s Instagram page will convince you of the need for a staple black leather pant, and rightly so, because as a big fan of them, Megan has nailed the style.

A statement in their own right, a pair of these gems will work all the versatile wonders in your day-to-day.

“You can dress them down with a sneaker and dress them up with a pair of boots,” the model points out.
